MyTonWallet

Non-custodial multi-form-factor TON wallet: browser extension, mobile apps, and desktop client. Open-source, with built-in staking, swap, jetton/NFT support, and Ledger integration.

Aliases: mtw, my ton wallet

MyTonWallet (often shortened to MTW) is a non-custodial TON wallet best known for shipping a full-featured browser extension. Among major TON wallets, MyTonWallet is the one where the extension is a first-class client rather than an afterthought.

Form factors

  • Browser extension for Chromium browsers (Chrome, Brave, Edge) and Firefox. The natural fit for users who run DeFi from a desktop and dislike scanning QR codes for every connection.
  • iOS and Android apps with biometric unlock.
  • Desktop application — a standalone native client.
  • Web version — accessible from a browser without installation.
  • Ledger support — integrates the hardware wallet through the same TON Ledger app used by Tonkeeper.

All clients share the same key model: the seed phrase is generated once and imported into whichever client is needed.

What it supports

  • Toncoin, jettons, NFTs — the full TON asset set, with USDT displayed as a first-class asset.
  • Built-in staking — a dedicated tab to stake TON in one click. Both validator-pool style staking and LST protocols (such as Tonstakers) are supported.
  • Swap — DEX integrations for exchanging between TON, USDT and major jettons.
  • TON Connect 2 — standard client for connecting to dApps and Telegram Mini Apps.
  • Multi-account — several wallets under one seed, switchable in a single tap.
  • Multiple contract versions — both v4R2 and v5R1/W5 are supported.

Open source

MyTonWallet publishes its clients as open-source on the team’s GitHub. This makes audits easier and means an interested user can build the extension from source rather than trusting only the released binary. For an extension that has access to crypto transactions, open code is a meaningful plus.

Where MyTonWallet shines

  • Desktop DeFi. The browser extension delivers the kind of UX MetaMask users expect: no QR scanning per connection, no need to keep a phone nearby. For active use of STON.fi, DeDust, EVAA, Storm Trade, etc., this is noticeably more convenient.
  • Granular controls. Network settings, wallet-version selection, and manual transaction parameters are all exposed in the UI.
  • Ecosystem coverage. Through TON Connect 2, the extension works with effectively any TON dApp.

Where Tonkeeper still wins

If the primary use case is in-Telegram transfers and mobile mini-apps, Tonkeeper’s mobile client is historically more deeply integrated. MyTonWallet and Tonkeeper are not mutually exclusive — a typical power user keeps both installed.

Security

The usual non-custodial-wallet hygiene applies:

  • The seed lives only with the user; support cannot recover it.
  • Browser extensions are a higher-risk surface: install only from official stores and verify the publisher.
  • For dApp connections, double-check the domain on the signing screen; phishing clones of major protocols are an ongoing problem.
